BT "VATBCLIA
I beard last evening a simple strain ;
It brought no thrill of joy or pain,
Nor did I care to bear again,
Our Diiie.
It breathed of mingled hope and fear ;
It banished peace brought discord near,
And coat each mother many a tear,
That Dixie.
And so our treasure, one by one,
All bj the battle field were won,
They heard at morn and setting son,
Our Dixie.
Yet atill it roused to deeds of fun-,
And made immortal many a ntme,
And never cansed a blush of shame.
Our Diiie.
There's many a aad heart living now,
Would rather in thy jnung grave boa,
Than set hia country "laid so low."

He may not hear that simple strain,
Ever without a thrill of pain,
'Our dead come back to life again
With Dixie.
i
Bleep on brave soldier, with thy dream ;
I'd honor him whose heart's best throe,
Leaped to that music sad and low.
Our Dixie.
Execitive Department,

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Commanding, dc:
SlB: I bare information that arms
have been imported into ibis State, and
distributed among members of a certain
political organization. Theso arms are
not of the ordinary character for sporting
or hunting purposes, but repeating rifles,
such as arc used in war.
I bare official information that a box
of England rifles has boen found secreted
in Newborn. 1 learn also that boxes of
arms have been shipped to Charlotte, and
ta points west of that place.
I have also learned that arms are in the
hands of perse ns in that city and the sur
rounding country, of a charaelet to leave
the impression that they are to be used
for purposes hostile to tbe Govennnent
and to the peace of Society,
v I have deemed it my duty to inform you
of these facts, and ta request you so to
distribute the troops under your command
as to afford the greatest aid practicable to
tbe civil au horities in maintaining the
peace. I trust thai I r coos will be af once
sent to Wilmington, and to other points
in the Mate. It rs.mv fixed purpose to
maintain tbe peace and to protect and
maintain tbe Slate Government by all tbe
means I can command. Tbe people were
surprised and harried into war, in 1861,
against their will. The authorities owe it
to the people, to the Govern inert, and to
themselves to see to it that similar steps
arc not to betaken now, The great body
of our people are averse to v ol- nce and
war. 1 hey want peace. Th- y must have
it. Those who may engage in war, or
who may resort to violence to gain politi
cal ends, or to take vengeai.ee on any por
tion of their fellow citisens, will be beldtoJ
Strict account and severely punished.
In tbe event of a conflict the civil au
thorities, having first exhausted their pow
er to preserve tbe peace, will call at once
on the Federal military ; and I hnve writ
ran this to notify you in advance of my
purpose in this respect. I feel sure of
your aid in any emergency to the extent
to which it can be given under the orders
you have received.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully.

Henry and flptsyr rifles (many of them
ixteea sJsoo(Cra)Vri.Ui account lueots, die.,
complete, have been received at Wilming
ton and thence distributed to organixatious
in this State, styling themselrea "Sey
mour aad Blair" Clubs, and "K. K. K's."
From other joints officers report similar
mocementa, the object of which has aa yet
not beeu audi- nuMic. These farts hare
also been paaarttd to the Department
Commander and I bare no doubt ha will
take prop r Hciioti in tho matter. While,
therefore, these occurrences give rise to
questions which may possibly produce se
rious results, still, Action in the first in
stance should be taken by the civil au
thorities, which, in my opinion can be
done under the Act of the General Assem
bly of this State, ratified August 24th,
1868, forbidding the conspiring ot per-
sons, by force or otherwise, to prevent the
execution the laws ot the State, and ma
king it a high crime to engage in rebellion
; or insurrection against the authority there-
! of.
j The Constitutional right of all ciliieus
to tbe possession of arms for proper pur
poses, dor s not extend to tbe perfecting of
organization., armed with weapons of
a purely military character, such as those
reported as having been received in ettch
unusual quantities at Wilmington and oth
er points, otherwise batteries and regi
ments may be formed with equal propriety,
inimical to the government, while it calmly
awaits the fate intended by those, in I860,
pursued a similar course. It will tindoubt
-1
edly be claimed by these parties that their
motives arc perfectly good and as indica-
ting no intention to forcibly resist the law
or omerwise iiiirjiiere wttn tne prrt
n tne peace Tsnti
quiet of their respective
localities, inis
ctnnot be granted. In 1861, professions
..( . i i. .k- ' ...i
of intense loyalty to the Constitution and
laws went band in hand with concealed
preparations for war. Many of these men
are paroled prisoners who have sworn to
obey the laws in force where they reside
and not to bear arms against the govern
ment, Ac. This State has been reorgan
ised under acts of Congress, the sequence
of the rebellio I, and any attempt to dis
turb its laws and prevent the re-establishing
of its authority is in my opinion un
act of hostility and in violation of their
solemn obligations, which may justly ex
cite action on the part of the general gov
ernment. Their riehts in asserting and
maintaining political preferences cannot
be questioned, but when pushed to the
present extremity, assuming hostile posi
tions towards the government, prompt con
demnation on tho part of all good citizens
should follow.
This "apparent purpose and rra liners"
to appeal to arms, after the experience of
tbe past seven yeara, is 'inexplicable. It
is strange that many of the citixens of this
State should so far foiget their interests
as' to court another collision which cannot
but be more disastrous than that recently
ended. There is tlothing in the present
political contest to excite apprehensions on
the part of any class or party. Two elec
tions have quietly occurred here within
the past twelve months as important u
any that have taken place in the history
of North Carolina, and with a deerec of
good order Creditable io all concerned, and
any afttmpts to excite disturbances by
. .. j or - .
any parties, undt r any pretence whatso
ever, are alike fool hardy and criminal.
It probably requires no ITiscussioir to
prove the entire futility of attempting any
resistance of tho Government in its efforts
to perfect and complete tbe questions ari
sing from tho late war. Ita whole power
is guaranteed for the maintenance of the
laws as at present constituted, and until
legally changed they should and must be
respected.
Very respectfully,
lour obedient servant,

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.
One of the most important subjects
for the serious consideration of the
American people of all parties, is the
enormous expenditures of public mon
ey by those elected by the people to
make laws and govern the country.
Oar rulers are piling up a debt that
will oppress taxpayers with an enor
mous burden, unless something --is
speedily dino to stop it and exercf" j
mote economy in puunc lusnn.
Look at the action of our own btafe
Legislature, at the late aeseion. Sev
ira1 millions of dollars were amro
priated for variona objects, tchile the
Stab- 'JW-teury leai actual lm empty,
and at the very time when the PmhCe
Treasurer had to borrow from a Ral
eigk Broker $100,000 to pay current
empentee. (Jan any one can the hard

last month on the pnblic debt. Army
transportation, of course, formed a

when the winter season sets in.
The Mvcrttgo monthly interest upon
the national dobt is about $11,000,

current expenditures, 28,500,000, and
we. have $40,000,000 aa the expendi

mouths in the year, gives $480,000,

Deltnar. Tbe average for the last
three years has been $40O,000,O06."
And a dispatch from Washington,
tinder dato of October 5th, soya :
"lion. Hubert S. Walker, Secret-
ry of tho Treasury under Mr. Polks

COMING BACK.
Last week fonr families reached
this place, on their way to Chatham
county, from which point they emi
grated to Indiana some three years
-ttgo. They aro aottictently amused
with that part of the country, and say
hundreds would return to tbe old
North State if they had the means.
Still tin-it! aro discontents in every
neighborhood who wish to try their
luck in a new State. Greensboro Pa
triot. Just as we predicted twelve months
ago. Our readers will remember that
we always said that thoso who were
removing from this Srato would be
glad to get back after a while. Re
cent! y we have heard of several per
sons, who removed to iexaa, Gears
Indiana, Illinois, Ac. who intended to
return to this section of North Caroli
na. Tho fact is, there is no better placn
in the world than good old North Cat
olina; nnd if people will go to work
and use the same exertions that are
used by emigrants to Western an I
South western States, they will suc
ceed just as well and enjoy many
more comforts and advantages. Let
us all remain in the "Old Land," and
assist each other in getting public af
